1652 Pine Tree Shilling. Small Planchet. Noe-26, Salmon 9-E, W-900. Rarity-5. VF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).
70.7 grains. Toned with a mix of medium steel and pewter-gray, darker near the edges. The surfaces show moderate handling marks and a few shallow scuffs, but nothing out of the ordinary for the grade. Both sides, however, are rough overall with scattered surface build up, these features explaining the PCGS qualifier. The tree and most of the lettering are sharp and well centered on the obverse, a trifle off (to 5 o'clock) on the reverse, as always. The Noe-26 Pine Tree is a far scarcer variety from a market availability standpoint than is reflected by the Rarity-5 designation.
PCGS# 915764. NGC ID: 2ARZ.
